Pengembangan Sistem Seleksi Proposal Penelitian Berbasis Web Service Menggunakan REST API

Web service-based application development has become a vital component of the modern in-formation technology ecosystem. The implementation of web services facilitates interoperability among diverse systems and platforms. REST API (REpresentational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is one of the most popular architectures for creating efficient and scalable web services. This study examines the implementation of REST API in the development of web service-based applications. The case study focuses on the creation of a Web service-based Research Proposal Selection System. The REST API implementation method in this study adheres to the system development life cycle (SDLC) to ensure that the developed API meets business needs while being efficient, secure, and reliable. The analysis phase is conducted to gather both functional and non-functional REST API requirements. During the design phase, the REST API architecture is designed in detail, including how data will be transferred and processed, and how the API will interact with databases and other systems. Furthermore, in the implementation phase, the REST API is developed, ensuring that each endpoint operates correctly. In developing the Proposal Selection System, the implementation of web services integrates data from various existing sys-tems, including employee, academic, and research data. The system encompasses various features, such as proposal import, proposal mapping, proposal review, proposal assessment, proposal se-lection, and reporting. The research findings indicate that implementing the REST API simplifies the development of web service applications. The test results reveal that the average response time is relatively stable, measuring 31 ms without iterations and 29 ms with five iterations.

Current Trends in The Formation of Mathematical Terminology on An Online Platform

To monitor quality improvement and student learning outcomes, schools must adopt a Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA). The Minimal Competence Assessment consists of two sub-tests: literacy and numeracy. This is in accordance with the provisions of the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology in order to improve the quality of learning and student learning outcomes. The existing test method has limits with school resources that cannot satisfy the quota of pupils who can utilize the program jointly. In addition, the existing system is incapable of displaying student grades because the evaluation is a cumulative score for the whole student body. Hence, the school constructed a web service-based application utilizing the Representational State Transfer approaches so that it could independently administer complete numeracy and literacy assessments to its pupils, allowing schools to track their students' numeracy and literacy improvement. The system is constructed utilizing two distinct platforms, namely web-based apps and mobile applications based on Android. Web-based application was developed for admin and teachers while mobile application was developed for students. The findings of this study's testing indicated that the web service application performed as predicted. According to the findings of the questionnaires given to evaluate the application's usability using the Nielsen technique, teachers were happy with the application's Learnability, Memorability, Efficiency, Errors, and Satisfaction. The majority of instructors are satisfied with the implementation of this Minimum Competence Application, according to the survey findings.

An improved security framework for Web service-based resources

Web service-based application has become one of the dominative ones of the Internet. This trend brings more and more security challenges in reliability, condentiality, and data nonrepudiation, especially in some systems that have massive diversied resources. An improved framework for secure accesses of Web resources is presented and implemented by extending and enhancing the Spring Security framework. It improves the security level of systems for identity authentication, authorized access, and secure transmission. The highly safe authentication is based on the integration of an improved authentication module of Spring Security with a U-key method and a RSA algorithm. For authorized access, the Spring Security's ACL (access control list) mechanism is improved by optimizing the domain object-level access control. For secure transmission, a compromising method is presented to take both the security level and the speed of data transmission into account by means of mixing the RSA and DES algorithms. In addition, the security interceptor of Spring Security is extended and a series of securitylters are added to keep Web attacks away. The above improved security framework has been applied to an online virtual experiment platform named VeePalms. The experimental results show that most security problems with high severity in the system have been solved and medium-low severe problems decreased dramatically. Moreover, VeePalms has been used in practice for about 2 years, which has proved the effectiveness of the security framework.

Modeling of Web Service-Based Government Decision-Making Support and Collaboration Application Platform - A Case Study of Major Function Oriented Zoning Decision Support

Government decision-making is a complex and comprehensive problem. It needs to make judgments and develop policies combining with professional advices and supports on the base of the comprehensive analysis of all aspects of the data, the integrated consideration of existing conditions and development prospects and other factors. Therefore, the construction of government decision-making information system should be taken the solving of the information sharing and the collaboration between departments as the main target. However, the existing government decision-support information systems are mostly focused on auxiliary analysis of information, and information sharing and collaboration between different departments are still lacking. This paper proposes to build a government decision-making support and collaboration applications platform for network-based data sharing and multi-sectoral collaboration on the base of service-oriented architecture (SOA) technology. This paper designs a service-based system framework with three-layer structure, and models this platform based on unified modeling language (UML). According to this, a service-based major function oriented zoning decision support system has been achieved for major function oriented zoning application. The results show that the service-based platform design was better in the solution of distributed information sharing and users’ collaboration issues.

Special Issue: Performance Evaluation of Communications in Distributed Systems and Web‐Based Service Architectures

This special issue is devoted to performance evaluation of communications in distributed systems and Web-based service architectures. Performance evaluation is still a topic that attains a lot of attention in both distributed and mobile systems as well as Web-based service architectures. Owing to the recent advances in internet-based applications as well as distributed and mobile communication systems, we are witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these systems are becoming very large and complex at the same time. Several challenges remain to be resolved before these systems become a commodity. Guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) and provisioning of web-based systems as well as distributed and mobile systems and evaluating their communication performance are among the challenging problems in the design of these systems. Quantitative analysis can be very difficult and may be intractable because of the state space explosion. New methods and tools have recently emerged for these kinds of complex systems, such as Stochastic Automata Networks, Stochastic bounds, PEPA, to mention just a few. This special issue covers the recent studies on the performance evaluation of communications in distributed systems and Web-based service architectures. The Call-For-Papers has attracted a large number of excellent paper submissions. All papers have been reviewed by at least three reviewers, and in some instances four reviewers. However, due to space limitations, we could only accept eight papers dealing with distributed, mobile systems and web-based architecture design using both analytical methods and simulation studies to evaluate their performance. We hope you will find the set of papers interesting as much as we do. The paper by R. Ben Halima et al. proposes a monitoring and measurement framework associated with a real Web services-based application and the resulting experimental data of a large-scale deployment and measurement campaign. The next paper by H. Xie et al. proposes a formalized approach for designing a P2P-based dynamic load balancing scheme. The paper by N. Dessart et al. focuses on how to detect anomalies in a distributed manner by using wireless sensor networks by considering medical context. They propose a distributed algorithm that allows raising alarms under some initial rules to alert efficiently medical staff in case of critical situations. The paper by B. Yahya et al. presents a new MAC layer protocol for wireless sensor networks that reduces energy consumption and provides QoS guarantees through the use of service differentiation concept. The proposed EQ-MAC protocol consists of two sub-protocols: Classifier MAC (C-MAC) and Channel Access MAC (CA-MAC). The CA-MAC is an energy efficient medium access mechanism that uses a hybrid approach of both scheduled and unscheduled schemes to gain a save in energy, and hence prolonging the network's lifetime. The paper by D. Cavendish et al. presents a methodology based on MVA to analyze transactions on a distributed multi-server system. The main idea is to provide conservative bounds on the results by MVA taking into account the variance of the processes. The paper by J. M. Fourneau et al. proposes upper and lower models that provide bounds on response times for Web service architectures. The bounded models are obtained by simplification processes which are associated with stochastic comparisons of random variables. Thus the simplified models are stochastic bounds for the original ones. They prove using stochastic comparisons that the response times computed on the bounding models are really upper and lower bounds on the considered models. The paper by M. Escheikh et al. proposes to use a mathematical model to evaluate the performance of a 802.11 MAC layer based on non Markovian Stochastic Petri Nets formalism (NMSPN). They propose two MAC IEEE 802.11e models by considering service differentiation features. The last paper by M. Zhang et al. proposes an efficient scheduling and load balancing scheme for dynamic P2P-based system. Experimental results show that significant gain can be obtained when compared to previous load balancing strategies.

Web services for communication over IP

This article describes a service-oriented communication (SOC) paradigm based on Web services for real-time communication and converged communication services over IP. This approach extends Web services from a methodology for service integration to a framework for SOC. In particular, we introduce the generic Web services-based application session management (WS-session), the two-way full duplex Web services interaction for communication, and most importantly, the development of Web Services Initiation Protocol. WIP is a full-featured Web services and SOA-based communication paradigm for multimedia and voice communication-over-IP. In the SOC paradigm of WIP, each WIP communication end point may be exposed as a UDDI-publishable Web resource, searchable by Web search engines, and capable of being integrated into a communication-enabled business process as services. We show that WIP provides a SOA that can be extended seamlessly from a primitive P2P end point for voice and video communication to an end point with advanced call control and switching capabilities typically requiring the assistance of a dedicated PBX. A prototype WIP system is fully developed. Architectural design and a system implementation of Web services-based communication are studied and applied to real scenarios of converged communication services. The advance of WIP indicates the beginning of a full Web service and SOA-based communication paradigm that can reshape the direction of communication over IP.
